Choosing Bison for your Electrical Enclosures

NEMA Enclosure Types

If you are looking to protect your electrical equipment, solar battery, or traffic control equipment, Bison Profab provides a large inventory of stock enclosures and manufactures NEMA enclosure types, including custom electrical enclosures, traffic cabinets and control boxes to fit your needs. Each enclosure can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including aluminum, steel and stainless steel to meet NEMA standards as well as be equipped with different accessories to customize your protective enclosure or control box.

Depending on your application, enclosures can be built to meet specific NEMA ratings that address unique environmental challenges. For example, NEMA 1 enclosures are ideal for indoor use where basic protection is sufficient, while NEMA 3R enclosures offer weather resistance for outdoor equipment. In more demanding industrial or corrosive environments, NEMA 4X-rated enclosures provide both watertight sealing and corrosion resistance. Bison also offers enclosure types that meet NEMA 12 and NEMA 13 standards, which are particularly effective for protecting components in oil-rich or splash-prone environments.

When manufacturing your electrical enclosures, Bison has strict standards, high attention to quality, yet a flexible, outside-the-box attitude, all while maintaining a quick turnaround at competitive prices.

IP Ratings Calculator

Bison provides a resource that quickly explains the protection that each IP enclosure would give, the weather conditions that it could withstand and an equivalent NEMA rating that Bison could then specifically manufacture in order to replace it.

Directions: Input a number between 10-68 to find results on what the protection means.

NOTE: This is a cross reference for comparing NEMA and IECEE's IP enclosure ratings. This comparison is only approximate, and it is the responsibility of the user to verify the enclosure rating necessary for the given application.
